A recent trip to Arizona rekindled an old love for all things cactus! My succulent passion began when I was in junior high school and my grandparents invited me to join them on a trip to Phoenix.
From the moment I arrived in Arizona, I was totally intrigued by all the cacti adorning the landscape. I even tried (unsuccessfully) to smuggle some specimens back to Connecticut. (At the time, this was forbidden by the Department of Agriculture.)
I think it is pretty safe to say I was the only 8th grader in Connecticut back then who subscribed to Arizona Highways magazine! Every month I eagerly awaited the newest edition – each one filled with photos of cacti – many of the photos including gorgeous, colorful sunsets!
So, maybe you can understand why my recent trip to Arizona had to include observations ‘in the wild’ of any cacti I was able to find!
For today’s Friday field trip, I hope you have enjoyed some of my findings!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous weekend!
